For the coil,,, you have to go with whatever style your car has on it,,, you obviously can't put a top mount coil on a remote mount cap

For the wires,,,whichever has the RFI suppresio,, super stocks work fine tho and do have the RFI suppresion core that I can remember

The accel coil you're looking for is pn 140011. Mounts right in the brackets your old remote coil came on. $39.99 at Jegs, slightly more but faster service at your local speed shop. Maybe in stock at Advance Auto but I'm not sure.

There's also Accel's remote HEI Supercoil... it comes with a wiring harness that duplicates the top of your stock coil. The part # is 140008. The difference between it and 140011 is that the one I'm talking about will -not- fit in the stock spot.

So that's good, cause you can leave your old coil in as a backup. It's bad because you need to find a spot for it.
